My husband had surgery on Thursday and he is having a sharp pain in the center of his chest that some times goes to the left side, it is mainly every time he takes a drink of Water or his Protein. Is this normal?? It feels pretty intense for him, I the point of regretting what he did! Can someone please help us with this, is it normal, is it something to worry about, will it pass if so when, what is your advise?? How many oz of liquid is to much liquid in an hour??

Sounds to me that what he is experiencing is GAS pains....I am still getting the pains but it usually a few mins after sipping on some Water.< /p>

This is completely normal! I was sleeved on Tuesday and had the same pains. Tell him to take it slow. Hopefully he is using gasx strips or something to help with the gas pains. He should be much better in the following days. Stay strong and push through...we are all going to struggle some days, but that doesnt mean we give up!

Totally normal and will go away soon. Tell him to take smaller sips.

Yes, small sips is the key. I took maybe 15cc's (1/2 oz) every 20 minutes the first few days. Every day I was able to slowly increase the amount.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
